Mental Health SIG

Aims:

The aim of the MH SIG is to bring together all those interested in, or already involved in, developing simulation-based education (SBE) around mental healthcare. This might include those based in both formal mental healthcare settings and those settings not typically associated with mental healthcare as well as higher educational institutions.

We hope to develop a community of practice that can further conversations around the benefits of simulation for improving the care of those with mental health difficulties.

We would like to invite to anyone with an interest in incorporating mental health themes into SBE – this may be in any number of specialties or settings – with the view to specifically considering integrated care, cross-agency working and patient experience.

We hope to share good practice, create opportunities and promote collaboration across the group while advancing innovation in this area and supporting the development of a research base for the use of simulation in mental healthcare.
